insomnia

as faithless once said 'I can't get no sleep' (are you singing that now too?)
I've had quite a few nights of late where I have been unable to sleep until around 3am despite desperately wanting to sleep. I'm definitely an 8 hours a night girl and I really can't seem to do this right now. I've tried listening to music, reading, listening to the dulcet tones of Paul Mckenna, sleeping in the spare room, sleeping on the sofa, rubbing badger sleep balm onto all available pulse points and countless other known remedies. Tonight I'm going to try hot chocolate and herbal remedy sleeping tablets (and a read thrown in for good measure).

I've decided not to do any sewing tonight as it seems to stimulate my brain and I go to bed with a head bursting full of ideas.
I made a start on this yesterday. I find it really hard to photograph red without it looking totally shocking so apologies for the pic. This WIP is my next mini picture:

Hi Monda just found your blog. I love your monsters, i hope you do a draw to win a monster soon! Also wondered where you got your lovely linen from, I have been hunting everywhere for coloured linen and the only place I could find is in usa. Please help!! Dottydesigns

hi monda, I've been reading your blog for a while, but had to comment today as I have been the same on the insomnia front lately. Really tired until I go to bed and then ping! wide awake. so I know how you feel, hope the hot chocolate worked. : )
